If you believe that the government can't confiscate 200 million guns in a single year, you have never seen The Minority Report, you don't take account of high-tech that can locate your guns wherever they're locked away, technology that can see through walls as if they were open to air.
I'm in the middle, I admire the self-reliant yeomanship of gun owners. At the same time, I listen to the other side. I knew of Gabrielle Giffords before she was shot. (I was reading about her because I wanted to understand the thinking of pro-abortion libertarians.) I got rid of my guns 35 years ago because I had an accidental discharge in the same room in which my infant son was getting his diaper changed. But experience of a menacing crime incident now has me looking at pistols.
Juan Williams goes against the grain of his conservative colleagues, speaking on the topic on Fox News, expressing skepticism that mere possession of hundreds of millions of firearms, even some beyond legal status, can protect us if some future leftist regime overrides public opinion in favor of gun ownership, to finally and conclusively disarm the American people.
The future development of high-tech is against our advantage in mere numbers possessing personal firearms. No doubt, most libertarians don't care about their hand-wringing issue, since leftists are now getting armed. The Soros-Gates-Buffet axis only seeks to disarm us, to render us powerless, so we'll be more easily governable and compliant.
Sounds like you’re better off without a gun.
It’s not so much seeing them - it’s GETTING them.
The Battles of Lexington and Concord proved it.
The challenge is not finding and confiscating any one individual’s firearms. The challenge would be sustaining that effort beyond the first few innocent victims.
I disagree. When the people being sent to confiscate these weapons genuinely worry they will not go home that night it will stop. Won’t take many to get the point across.
“How we burned in the camps... “
You might be right, Charles. It all depends on how many dead cops you’re willing to accept.
The only way to prove how expensive it would be for them to confiscate is for them to actually attempt it and then they will find out.
It would be a bloodbath. And if anyone thinks the liberals who want confiscation would have the courage to go for it, you have to ask yourself why they aren’t already displaying that courage in going after all the criminals who illegally own guns. Courage is not a democrat value.
Resist We Much!
We must! And we will much!
technology that can see through walls as if they were open to air.
= = =
Yes, but can they see through WATER?? HA HA.
That’s right. Or worry about getting home.
Or You see Them at Your Neighbors Door!
“why they aren’t already displaying that courage in going after all the criminals who illegally own guns”
Yes. You don’t hear them doing anything to defend innocent inner-city citizens who bear most of the brunt of the war against their own people.
Yeah, people tend to become less enthusiastic about their job when it pays very little and can easily get you killed. Funny how people react that way, huh?
Wait 'til they try to take my phased plasma rifle, in the 40-watt range.
Put aluminum foil or metal screening your walls, ceilings, windows and doors.
I am reminded of the old alt.news groups where the gun grabbers used to say “you can’t win against an Apache helicopter...”
Then Iraqi rebels shot down an Apache helicopter. Notice you don’t hear them say that anymore. LOL.
